Well, since you have open front and rear diffs you can put two large tires on the opposite ends and the problem will be less.

If we had locked differentials, or open differentials it wouldnt be so bad. With open you it wouldnt even cause an issue but performance wouldnt be so great. The problem is worse on the 4eat. With different size tires you are constantly slipping the clutch. At least in the 5mt you are only heating t...

Just make sure you DONT turn it more than 1 turn at a time. If you loosen it too much you run the risk of the band popping off the solenoid and you will loose 2 and 4. Ive done this on two legacy by myself but a freind would probably be helpful. Its easier to adjust from the underside of the car usi...

None of the synths are fully synthetic. Most of the time they have the 80%+ of the lab created molecules then 15%- of dino that also has all the additives. I have seen both the high mileage and the new car formula around here. Usually the 10w-30 is high miles while the 15w-40 and others are new car....

dsc: I have done the swap on my legacy. However I seriously doubt your freind has air suspension. More likely he has standard suspension and they are very worn becuase he doenst take care of the car.

I had always though air suspension stopped in 92-93.

STI strut tops

What parts does this include? I assume spring seat, cone washer and bearing/stud plate.

Anyone currently using these? I guess z1 is still the best location

I dont know, the xt was out until 1991 and the air suspension system looks very similar. The car I speak of is an 89. The XT has to have the coolest interior of any legacy I have seen, just slightly dated.

Legacy Air suspension and XT6 air suspension

I have a chance to get a very low mileage xt6. The biggest issue is a non functioning air suspesnion. My question would be, is the air suspension from the legacy and xt6 the same parts? More specifically I guess I want to know if I could use struts and strut tops from a legacy? I guess it wouldnt be...

? You could always undue it. Realize this is a normal adjustment that was probably meant to be performed long ago. I recently bought a sedan with 147k miles and this was one of the first things I did to fix it. You are right that it can be broken by improper adjustment. However this doesnt come from...

I have a similar driving pattern, Im happy with my 78 dollar kuhmo exsta 712. The greatest part about these tires is that they have a better rating on tread compared to other tires with similar traction.

Since your tranny is basically "Dead" as it is, try to tighten the 2-4 band to see if your problem can be helped. Tighten the threaded headless bolt 1.5 turns. Have a freind help watch it because when you loosen the nut it will want to turn. You will know you tightened it too much when the...

Just buy the updated part, if you have a grey connector like shown in the photo you are supposed to replace it anyways even if it isnt damaged.

You should visit the whiteline sight, find the pdf with the product listing, write down the part number then find a whiteline distributor and order the part.

Any real whiteline distributor can get any of the parts listed. Usually they can have them shipped directly to you from whiteline.
